"Yer a father, Harry!": Harry Potter references flood the internet as Daniel Radcliffe announces baby boy

It was inevitable for Daniel Radcliffe to avoid Harry Potter references after building a career by playing J.K. Rowling's titular wizard for over a decade. This is the case with Daniel Radcliffe's little one, whose gender was only revealed recently by Radcliffe and Erin Darke. The little boy was born back in April, but the couple stayed away from any publicity for the past couple of months.

Radcliffe, who has had an exceptional career even post Harry Potter days, spoke about his child for the first time in an interview with ET! ahead of his upcoming TBS series, Miracle Workers. He said:

"It's great. It's crazy and intense, but he's wonderful and Erin is amazing -- it's a real privilege also to have this time with him,...I was always going to take some time off, which not everyone is able to do, and so I'm able to kind of just be here with him a lot, which is lovely....So, we're having a great time."
